Having ice on hand for your hotel guests is one of the many things expected of you upon arrival at your hotel. Most people identify two things right away upon checking in: the location of the fire exits, and also important, the location of the ice machine. The size and quality of your ice machine should match the size of your hotel and the amount of ice that your guests typically require. Today, we’ll focus on which will suit your hotel, your guests, and your ice machine better: the ice dispenser or the ice storage bin. Both provide distinct advantages, and there are quite a few things to consider when deciding which would best suit your establishment.

Beer lovers, rejoice! A refrigerator has finally arrived that will perfectly suit the varying temperature requirements of your most coveted microbrews. Whether you prefer a majestic, 100 IBU double IPA, are more enamored with light ciders, or simply like having a great variety on hand from which to choose, the U-Line 3036RRGL will adequately house all of your favorite beers. With the U-Line 3036RRGL, not only can you store your beer at any temperature from 34 to 70 degrees, but you are allotted two individually operating temperature zones. This way, if you want to store some heavier, imperial stouts along with a few “pounders” of the macrobrew variety, you can set one side of the refrigerator to a lower temperature and the other side to a more suitable, higher

Have you ever bought a car at a price that seemed like a phenomenal deal at the time? The price was low, the car looked good, and you were happy to drive away with your fancy new piece of property. If so, what happened next? Did the car perform poorly? Did it devour gas and drain your wallet? Most importantly, did it live up to your expectations from the day you bought it? Speaking from experience, it is not often that these “bargain deals” provide you with anything more than a headache, and they rarely provide the quality for which you may have been searching. Thankfully, when it comes to ice machines, Scotsman is a brand that can be relied on to serve your business for years to come. Scotsman’s high quality ice machines cost less up front and less to operate – and they do it without sacr

Scotsman’s Nugget Ice Still Leads the Way.

While it may no longer be a well-kept secret (or a secret at all anymore), it can safely be said that, when it comes to the various ice styles served in foodservice establishments everywhere, nugget ice (the ice used by Sonic Drive-In, among others) is the most sought after by customers throughout the foodservice industry. This is the only ice style that has a steady social following, and if you are even remotely familiar with social / internet marketing, you know there is nothing more desirable than having your customers do much of your promoting for you. Potential new customers are far more likely to listen to and trust information provided by friends and family than they are a company or brand that engages in shameless self-promoting.

Summer is here, and this means one thing to many hotel owners - occupied rooms, hordes of vacationers, and most importantly, more business for your establishment. It can be easy to overlook some of the issues that face your hotel when the rooms are empty and guests are not around, but when your hotel is fully occupied, many of its faults become magnified. The leaky, dripping sink in Room 312 becomes an issue to the light-sleeping family. John in 113 is complaining that cell phone reception is poor in his room, and he cannot get a wi-fi signal for his laptop, and the recently graduated college students can't seem to figure out how to work the ice dispenser to keep their drinks cold. While we don't employ plumbers, and we probably can't help John find better reception (move to a higher room maybe?), we can make sure your hotel guests are never without ice by outfitting you (and them) with the perfect hotel ice machine and ice dispenser.
